@briankrebs I'm guessing they've fallen victim to an exploit of MS Windows or other proprietary software they pay a LOT for. Bet they've got a computer science department... wonder what would happen if they engaged them & their students to build them a #LibreSofware-based tech infrastructure as part of their curriculum instead. They could use the $$ they save to provide professional development for staff & students about digital tech & secure practices. Could become a model for all of education.
